Autism support system, wearable device, and methods of use

Abstract

Systems and methods for an autism management and/or diagnosis support system are described. The autism management and/or diagnosis support system can include a computing device, including a wearable computing device, configured to receive an input from a user to select a client profile and display on a user interface the client profile. The computing device can be further configured to receive a second input from the user to record behavioral event data and begin recording the behavioral event data. The computing device can also retrieve historical behavioral data associated with the client profile and compile a summary of behavior associated with the client profile to be displayed for the user.

         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 retrieving, by the processor and from the memory, behavioral plan data associated with one or more predetermined behavioral plans;   compiling, by the processor and based on the event data, the historical behavioral data, and the behavioral plan data, one or more client-specific data-based positive behavioral intervention plans; and   displaying, on the display, the one or more client-specific data-based positive behavioral intervention plans.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, by the processor and from a positioning system associated with the computing device, location data associated with the behavioral event;   compiling, by the processor based on the event data and the location data, a summary of the behavioral event; and   displaying, on the display, the summary of the behavioral event.   
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 receiving, at the processor, a third input from the user to record additional event data, the additional event data also being associated with the behavioral event of the client;   recording, in the memory, the additional event data; and   compiling, by the processor and based on the event data, the historical behavioral data, and the additional event data, the summary of behavior associated with the client profile.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the third input from the user comprises selecting a severity level from a user-configurable list of severity levels descriptive of a severity of the behavioral event. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the third input from the user comprises selecting an antecedent event from a user-configurable list of antecedent events descriptive of a cause of the behavioral event. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the third input from the user comprises an event-specific note of the user. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the third input from the user comprises selecting a consequence from a user-configurable list of consequences descriptive of a consequence of the behavioral event. 
     
     
         13 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a graphical user interface on a display, configured to present to a user, information of a summary of behavior associated with a client profile;   a processor in communication with the graphical user interface, configured to:

 receive a fourth input from the user to select an antecedent event from a user-configurable list of antecedent events descriptive of a cause of the behavioral event; 
 receive a fifth input from the user to select a consequence from a user-configurable list of consequences descriptive of a consequence of the behavioral event; 
 retrieve, from a memory in communication with the processor, historical behavioral data associated with the client profile; 
 compile, by the processor and based on the duration of the behavioral event, the behavioral description, the antecedent event, the consequence, and the historical behavioral data, a summary of behavior associated with the client profile; and
